ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On January 19, 2018, the Board of Directors of Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. (the “Company”) granted options to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Thomas B. Miller, its Chief Financial Officer. These options have (i) a term of 10 years, (ii) fully vest and are exercisable on January 19, 2019 (the “Vesting Date”), and have (iii) an exercise price of $1.83 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s shares as reported by Nasdaq on the date of grant. The validity of these options hinge on Mr. Miller’s continued employment with the Company or, upon leaving that employment, his remaining available on a consultant basis to assist when requested in an executive transition and related financial or operational matters through the Vesting Date. Mr. Miller’s previously granted options (“Prior Options”) may continue to vest according to their terms of grant through the Vesting Date, provided that Mr. Miller is either still employed by or remains a consultant to the Company as of that date and provided that all other terms and conditions applicable to the Prior Options remain in effect.
